[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 691103, member: 16024"] Am I remembering correctly, ST, that the grandpa has an incurable form of cancer? He is probably feeling very weak, tired, and sick. I would be concerned that he doesn't have the ability to care for himself and his home, much less an energetic 4yo. It is normal to have dust, clutter, dirty dishes and such when people are busy (which is most of us) and then there is "pig sty" when someone is grievously ill and probably depressed. Of course, I don't know where this situation falls, but it doesn't sound good. Does grandson's dad qualify for any services? I would think (unless he has a decent income) he could get some low-or -no cost child care. Call around. Try 211. Try local government. The good news is that grandson will probably be eligible for Pre-K, Head Start, Pre-School (whatever its called in your area) through the school system as soon as school starts in August. So not that far off, if nothing else comes up (I'm pretty sure ST works full time, so she can't keep grandson). I would be furious with daughter, though. She wouldn't be getting so much as a "hi" from me anytime soon. Apple [/QUOTE]
